It's really unfortunate and infuriating when ignorance and discrimination occur in a place of business. This place assumes they know what sex you were born as and seem to have no idea that a gender spectrum exists. Not a safe or friendly environment at all, and not somewhere I will ever drop a dime at based on this. read more

Review on the selling process: Brought bags of items to the store and they took 80% of my items. I agree that the service isn't warm and fuzzy, but I didn't think they were rude either. I received an itemized list, via email, of my items, and received checks when items sold. You can also ask for your items to be returned to you after the 60 day period. I think some of the items were missing (not sold, but not returned to me), but as I was going to donate the remaining items to Goodwill, it didn't bother me much. I didn't want to have the hassle of posting on Buy nothing and I also wanted my items to reach a new home since they were in good shape (instead of ending up in a rag bin). I really didn't get much money back relative to the value of the items, but it was convenient and easy. I think they do look for more recognizable designer labels, and you shouldn't expect warm service. Otherwise, my overall experience was fair. read more

This is about selling to these folks. I brought a once-worn pair of gray suede shoes from France, size 40.5 (9.5) made in France, not Spain, Brazil etc. However, the buyer sniffed at them and turned them down- clearly didn't recognize the brand name even though it caters to a lot of VIPs over the pond. However, she was thrilled to take some lesser silk blouses I was tired of that I bought second hand on ThredUp. I also took a stroll through the store. Their items are so Sacramento Street. I guess they know their clientele... read more

Snooty shop owner. I took several "designer label" men's items from Macy's to be looked at. All (in my opinion) beautiful and they were all practically new items. Totally understood what was meant when the owner said, "these are from Macy's!" and then looked through me. She couldn't get me out of there fast enough! NOT wanting my clothes wasn't the issue. The dismissive way I was treated when told was the problem. read more

You may find that the prices here are on the higher side for used clothing, but the condition of the items are worth the upgrade plus there are a handful of designer brands that would be way over my budget if they were brand new. The ladies here are always helpful and merchandise is organized well so you're not having to dig through racks haphazardly. On my last visit I scored two Eileen Fisher jackets in pristine condition for $125 each. read more

Goodbyes - Black Eileen Fisher coat $125 over my Zuri "marimba" dress - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Francisco, California

I feel like the bad reviews are either from people selling their clothes or people expecting boutique service at a tiny consignment shop. I got 3 pairs of jeans in great condition that are $250~ retail (mother, l'agence, frame), and a brand new Everlane cashmere sweater for $200. There were some pieces that I wouldn't have paid the price for, but that's just shopping in general... right? You don't have to buy the overpriced thing. Some items had stains but again, it's a consignment shop. The lady at the counter wasn't coddling me or kissing my a$$ but she was friendly, made sure I didn't have too many things in my hands so I could keep shopping. The younger person working near the fitting rooms was nice and helpful. I didn't check out the 3333 location yet but I'm looking forward to it! Really happy with my denim haul and will be checking here before buying new jeans ever again. read more

Been in here two times, staff not as helpful. Sad they did not take a few Pairs of my mothers hardly used shoes to sell - a few not out of style. All good they have their own standards. read more

have you noticed that at the men's store the merchandise has taken a dive to well worn mediocre items and missing the high end labels we used to see. and the service from the only attendant is dismissI've and condescending to questions about issues with wear and damage? too bad it was once a great resource now just high priced used goods read more

Great finds for designer shoes, jackets, blouses, dresses and boots! And the location is nice!

Great place for quality clothing, previously-loved. Consignmservice is excellent, and very helpful.

Thought I'd go back to this store and try again, but it's run by the same miserable, nasty, rude people who ran it before. Of particular note is an old Chinese lady who usually mans the checkout. She is uncommonly rude, coarse and nasty. To the owner: Do you really think this helps your business?! read more

Their sign outside cracks me up: "Dress like a million ... on someone else's million" I was walking around Laurel heights wearing some ratty Aldo shoes I paid about $100 about a year ago. They were in a really sad state and when Iw walked into goodbyes saw a pair of gorgeous Gucci shoes for $80. They were in very good shape and I've always loved the weight and feel of a good pair of shoes. I lucked out and they happen to be my size so I tossed my cheap Aldos and for $20 less than I would pay for new mediocre shoes I got used high-quality shoes.

Goodbyes - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Truly love this store....so i may as well give up the secret- so hard to stay away -due to scoring the most unusually beautiful pieces of clothing & accessories Well organized by sizing & category Goodbyes is unpretentious in presentation & has the most friendly, professional & knowledgeable staff Needless to say, I seldom leave empty handed due to its exquisite selections when least expected Its tight w/mdse so be prepared to search but SO worth it Its up to your sense of discovery- this store is an adventure i can't live without- Two stores on Sacramento street well worth the visit - read more

Majority of their staff is ok. A lot of their 'name brand' stuff isn't even verified or authenticated. They also co-sign based what they think is valid. Like stated before a lot of their stuff isn't cleaned or has stains. It's really a hit or miss. read more

Not much here worth the money. Goodbyes has turned into a glorified thrift shop. Clothing are not washed/dry cleaned. Selection is really poor and largely dated. For the prices they ask, I would expect the clothing to be clean, and without stains. Surprising what they accept nowadays. Not worth the trip. Sorry. read more

Don't expect much. Buying is fun selling not so. Selling service is abysmal. Staff depends on whether they're staffed to handle your packages. Hugely disappointed and would have appreciated the opportunity to pick up what didn't sell. I earned $19 for hundreds of vintage designer product. read more

If you want great men's designer shirts, this is the place! I took good care of them, wore them, and sold a few back, no problem. Where else can you get great Robert Graham shirts for like $60?!?!?! Awesome! read more

I do not live in the Bay Area but love to visit Goodbyes when I'm in the area. I love the neighborhood, the shops, the personnel who assist us at Goodbyes. I found some very fun buys when I was there last month like a pair of designer Betsy Johnson's flats for a super price! read more

I don't usually write reviews, this is about the staff. The person responsible for the selection of the clothes is very rude. She doesn't have manner. Each time I have been there she is always very brusque and ungracious. You feel like you don't want to go there anymore. My friends and I (very cultivated and travelers people) keep asking ourself how very expensive and refined clothes bought and made in Italy don't look good to her. The selection looks pretty the same every time I stop by. Other great styles are not even considered. I have been working in fashion and this is hard to understand. I hope the owner of the stores will read this and do something about it. Thanks read more

Goodbyes men's store is right across the street from the women's store. Hey, that's just like Macy's! Except these are used clothes. It's a consignment store. "Dress like a million ... on someone else's million." I was very impressed with their "new selection" of used shoes. Lots of suits, too. I'm sure if I needed a suit this would be an obvious hunting ground. read more

Goodbyes - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Francisco, California

Upscale and designer clothes at extremely low prices. I'm glad they're picky, because the clothes on the rack are usually very gently used. Good for belle and beau. My girl got a nice blouse and leather skirt there for cheap. Excellent place to buy nice mens jackets, leather, blazers and otherwise. Good buys at Goodbyes. Key tip: ladies, check out both sides of the street, you can score in both locations! read more

You want something new (or that looks like new) for not a lot of cash & a great, edited selection of designer brands (Kate Spade, Loro Piana, Armani, St. John, Trina Turk) look no further than Goodbyes. I've always enjoyed good service and the dressing room is more like your girlfriend's place where you can ask total strangers, "How does this look on me? Is it too tight here? Is the color a little off" and get a second opinion. The only caveat is most of the amazing shoes (including Manolo Blahnik) are usually in teeny sizes. The apparel, however, runs the gamet of size 2 to zaftig so there's something here for everyone. read more

Love this store. What a treasure trove of deals! There is a lot to sift through, so be patient. Found a pair of AG jeans at deep discount - maybe was $120 off? They have a few ultra-high end things as well, if that's your jam! read more

Rudest place ever . Over priced . Dismissive . Smug and an all around unpleasant place . Wish I coukd give it negative stars

I've been shopping here for 15+ years. Today I Scored a Lululemon long sleeve hoodie on double markdown for $10! Love this place and the excellent customer service. read more

Some of my finest treasures have come from this store. I love so many of my designer shoes and purses as well as fabulous clothing that I never would have purchased full price. I get so many compliments on everything I have purchased from the store. It is always a pleasure to shop here! read more

This is a pretty big store, and they have a complete men's only storefront across the street which is great. I just have problems with the staff like a lot of other reviewers have touched on as well. The store is INCREDIBLY tight - they really didn't arrange it well at all as the rows are only wide enough for one person to go through. If you need to pass someone, you end up having to lean into the clothes and hangers which is a turn off. The shoes are arranged on shelves on both sides of a narrow hallway. You have to get through this hallway to get to the changing rooms, so there are always people running into each other here - and to make matters worse, the dressing room attendant stands around the entrance to the hallway so you are always going to have to navigate around her and the rest of the people stuck in the hallway. The women who run the shop yell at each other a lot which is uncomfortable. The workers also yell at you if you walk in with a large bag without checking it. A lot of consignment stores make you check your bag, but the other stores do it with more grace, whereas Goodbyes' staff just yells indoors "BAG - CHECK YOUR BAG!". I wanted to like this place because I like the wide selection of designer brands and the fairly decent prices, but it's so anxiety inducing inside that I just can't go anymore! read more

I really do like this store; however, my rating has gone down rather quickly because of the customer service received. My sister lives in the North Bay and she was very excited to check out the store. I took her there on a Monday evening at around 5:40. We had twenty minutes to check things out because the sign outside indicted that closing time is at 6:00......so we thought! Once we entered, we had the two ladies tell us to hurry up..closing in ten minutes! Ten minutes went by and I tried on a pair of jeans while my sister wandered through the isles. They started turning the lights off and told her to hurry up. I got out of the room and overheard this and could tell my sister was not impressed with the attitude we received. Basically, RUDE! Look ladies....you owe it to your employers to provide top notch customer services and you could miss out on a sale. Hey, I wanted the jeans but I am not going to buy them from a RUDE sales associate. Bottom Line: Get your Customer Services Skills Refreshed!! read more

I will never consign items here again. The staff is RUDE and treats you like dirt. Considering their whole business is from consigners I'm shocked people still sell items here to keep them in business. I called to follow up on a few items and let them know I wanted to regain them since they didn't sell. I was told that they are too busy right now because there's a sale going on and I need to call back on Monday (2days from now). I started explaining why I couldn't do that and before I knew it I was hung up on! I immediately called back and of course now there was no answer. I'm done with this place and their terribly rude staff. Take your money elsewhere! read more

Today I recieved their 16th Annual Winter Sale Invite Starting Jan 5th. I moved in June and the P.O. still hasn't figured it out . Nice And Guys.. They have Lot's For the Guys As Well ...So stay with me. So the scoop is I shop here twice a year and always end up buying a great pair of pants or a jacket in the $50 - $150 range (Armani,). Clothing may be new but didn't sell in their stores and/ or slightly older and probably never worn or slightly worn and a designer brand. They're selective as to what they take in as I consigned with them when I moved. If anything had a spot on it they wouldn't even consider it. They have a Mens store stocked with a solid selection of jackets and raincoats that I secretly try on in hopes of a fit ! A Girl in her guys shirt equals sexy because there isn't anything sexier than a girl in her boyfriends clothes. oui, but of course . Generally when I'm in the mood to run over to Sacramento Street. I hit all the different consignment shops with great bargains. But beware Sacramento Street can be hazardous to your checkbook. Bargains are here to be found for men and women and home. The range is vast so don't freak out from one store to the next ! Alright gentlemen, Go back to that little blackberry thing your wife calls 'your mistress.' read more

They don't know brands that aren't of the tried and true... - Brought in some Banana Republic items that were very dated: wanted them - Smaller brand designer shirts from Neiman Marcus : scoffed at - Alexander Wang sweater with tags attached: exact words "who is this?" - Gap pants from 5 years ago: excited about In going thru the store and looking at the merch, it was apparent there isn't anyone there with current trend and fashion knowledge. Kinda sad as years ago I loved this store when new to the neighborhood. I then went up the street to Designer Consigner and those mystifying brand items were all scooped up by someone who knew them and even commented on the labels. Wow, imagine a consignment store that loves fashion outside the big retail brands! And guess what? They were really nice unlike the Goodbyes snobby buyer who was an ad for the 90's! Goodbye to Goodbyes... read more

I went in to goodbuys yesterday for the very first time.I had my two daughters with me 7 and 2 years old. Ok I am very aware of certain parents that allow their kids to run wild and be spoiled brats,but I know better! I went in with my girls, they were holding each others hands standing next to me. 5 seconds in to my visit...... I guess they were leaning to close to the clothes when this woman comes stomping in to our isle screaming don't do that!! I did not realize she was talking to us because I turned around and saw my girls right next to me. So I was sure it wasn't us but when she was close enough she reached over and grab my oldest arm and continue to scream at them. My oldest got this look on her face like she was about to cry. my youngest ran away scared. I stood there looking at this in astonishment! I really did not know what to do. So I gathered my girls up and walked out. After thinking about this Incident for the rest of the day. I was angry at myself for not standing up to this woman and protecting my kids from this vicious attack. I was truly just amazed this has never happened to me before.I just couldn't understand but after reading many reviews I was puzzled to realize that this woman is a terror and yet continues to run a business. I guess you don't have to be much of a people person to run a business. But I'll tell you one thing I will never set foot in that store again even if they paid me. My advise is if you dare to go make sure you go without your kids or be ready for the worst experience ever! read more

Why on earth would I pay over a hundred dollars for used shoes? Especially when they have been worn and clearly used. But I did get a pair of brand new flats for $18. It's in the neighbourhood of where I work, and I occasionally browse in there, and it's a lot of older clothes...nothing really catches my eye. read more

What was once a nice place to buy and sell quality, used garments has become a snotty, unfriendly, horrid place. The clerks are nasty. The owner is a a pretentious snob. The clothing is tattered and overpriced. The new ownership has no regard for people. They complain that they aren't selling product - the racks are too full. Maybe if they treated their customers with respect, they would sell a few things. Memo to Goodbyes: "If you don't like people do NOT go into a business where you are required to deal with them!" read more

Goodbuys and Goodluck. I've shopped at Goodbuys for years and it is so not the store it was years ago. First of all the store has become old and boring. The owner (warden )) and her staff (PRISON MATRONS ) seem only to care about one thing .That you check your purse or bag at the door. Even real small ones ( wait a minute I might want to stuff that old musty used Burberry trenchcoat in my clutch bag or change purse. It's even became a running joke at other stores in the area. Thankfully their's Cris on Polk St . What a great store . Better cloths,shoes, bags etc and no Prison matrons anywhere...... read more

I have consigned with them many years and mostly common brands. I have to say, one bad dealing set back all the money I have made there and plus more. I sent my Gucci coat there after I took it back from a high-end consigner store. For a reason that was unclear to me at the time, the Japanese woman who accepted my coat at the beginning rejected it later & left me an unclear message. I called many times in attempts to reach her, but she never took the effort to call back and later the coat was "donated." The sequence of calling involved other staff, obviously no one bother to follow up not just that Japanese woman. I didn't know it was rejected, until months later when I went there to collect other left over consignment. At the end, they told me that the coat had an anti-thief pin on, so they couldn't accept it. I didn't even know it had. The lesson I learn is that, the contract I signed says that any lost, stolen, missing, & a result of a donation is not the responsibility of the store. However, I have experiences with other stores, which have the same conditions in their contracts. The difference is that those high-end stores have very thorough followups with their customers. I got a call from that high-end consignment store I mentioned earlier, which made sure that I would go to pick up my Gucci coat. That's customer services, give your customers a piece of mind w/o worries. I'll never consign w/ Goodbye! Sadly, goodbye!!! read more

If you're a fashionista- you'll get the following lines: (If not- watch reruns of SATC) I love those shoes! These are not shoes- they're Manolo's Love those jeans! They're actually Vintage YSL circa 1980. Wow, love that purse! Ummmm actually they're Chanel Classic 2.55 quilted bag. How do you afford all this stuff were they on SALE? No its not a SALE its called a BARGAIN! I always thought that if Carrie Bradshaw had to afford all the clothes , purses , accessories and SHOES she wore on a daily basis given her meagre salary - she'd need a store just like this one!!! PS- Don't forget to go to their FINAL CLOSEOUT BARGAIN for other fine selections to choose from- just across the street (also where they house the men stuff as well) ! read more

This is incredible store to find great buys on designer clothes, shoes, and accessories. Hardly worn Ferragamos: $79, brand new Barneys of New York tie: $24. It's one of SF's best kept secrets; Lets keep it that way so there's always good stuff for us, mmmkkay? ...but there's an incredibly mean lady that works in the Women's store!!! read more

Two months ago my friend and I went all over town to every crossroads within the city to sell our clothes. Our last stop was at the fillmore store and a customer there recommended I goto Goodbyes for the high end stuff I had with me. When we got to the mens store... the lady told me I had to have a minimum of 8 items to sell... and at the time I only had three things. So a few days later I came back with another friend that brought stuff as well. I had 12 items but my friend only had five. The lady took all my items and all of his five! I remembered them telling me it was a minimum of five items... but I decided to dismiss it because they didn't deny my friend of consigning with them. After dropping the clothes off I came on yelp to read some reviews regarding Goodbyes. There's a lot of good reviews... but there are bad reviews that really stood out that got me nervous about this place... especially the part of reclaiming items and they end up getting donated. During the two month period they sold 8 out of 12 items. I liked how the checks came in the mail with the listed items sold. Goodbyes has a policy that you must contact them 7 days in advance to reclaim any clothes that were not sold or they will automatically donate them. As I said above... this is the part that made me nervous. I was scared they would say I never contacted them and it would be gone. But instead of calling them on the phone I emailed Goodbyes to the email address that they had emailed me the list of items I had given them to sell. I got a response the same day from Goodbyes regarding the date to come get my reclaim. I picked up my unsold items yesterday with no problem. This is my first time selling my clothes with them and the transaction was smooth. I do want to come back as a buyer since it looks like there are some stuff that I may like to purchase! Now I just need to find another consignment place to take the rest of the stuff that didn't sell at Goodbyes!!! read more

One of my friends loves consignment shops, so I went with her just to hang out. I am not a fan of these type of stores at all, mainly because I'm a chub and they usually never have anything cool above a size 8-10. Lucky for me, they actually had a decent looking size 12 section and at least they had some size 14 clothing too. I found the cutest, prettiest navy with whit polka dot dress for only $30! I love this dress because it is the perfect length and style. Even though size 12 is a little snug on me, I pulled off wearing it that night at dinner. I'm going to work out some more and come back here in the fall and hope to find more cute size 12 items. Oh, and the staff are awesome - very nice and friendly! Not pretenious at all. Everything is super well organized too. read more
